IWC expanded its partnership with the US naval aviation industry in 2018 and developed the first "Top Gun" watch, which is specially awarded to graduates of the Naval Fighter Weapons School "Top Gun" program. This year, the brand introduced us the "SFTI" version-matte black, tactical appearance case and homemade chronograph movement. The 44mm case uses a variety of material combinations: the bezel and the middle of the case are made of black zirconia ceramics, and the back and chronograph buttons are made of cerium. The central chronograph second hand of the black dial has a jet-shaped counterweight. The Ceratanium case back is engraved with the High Aspirational logo on the back. It is equipped with IWC's self-produced 69380 calibre. It has the technical characteristics of IWC, namely the woodpecker pawl winding system, with a 46-hour power reserve.

Bell & Ross BR 03-92 HUD is inspired by the head-up display in the cockpit, limited edition 999 pieces. The head-up display in the cockpit of the aircraft is a transparent windshield, which displays basic data in projected digital form. This watch is housed in a 42mm square case made of matte black ceramic, and this high-tech screen is remade on its three-layer dial. The top layer is a green sapphire crystal, and there are four luminous brackets at the corners, which represent the HUD's sight range. The minute and second hands occupy the middle position, and the central part is hidden to imitate the digital display on the dashboard. The basic dial is located on the main dial, with triangular marks, indicating the hour, hour, minute and number with concentric scales, and is coated with Super-LumiNova C3 luminous material to emit bright green.

As the latest member of its retro-inspired Pilot 20 series, Zenith is inspired by the blueprint of pioneer Aeronefs. This is an airplane piloted by the pioneer Louis Bleriot and others. Zenith watches used Zenith watches to time over the English Channel. The Pilot Type 20 blueprint is located in a 45mm steel case. It has a unique double dial, made of a matte blue base, engraved with a technical diagram, and a sapphire crystal layer with traditional hours, minutes and Zenith. The logo casts a subtle shadow on the base. The superimposed combination creates a deep and fascinating 3D effect on the dial, making the marks appear to float on the blueprint. Zenith's Elite 679 movement powers the timepiece and has a movement with a 50-hour power reserve. The watch is mounted on a blue calfskin strap, with the large rivets characteristic of early pilot watches.

Hamilton is closely related to the development of the aviation industry. In 1930, Hamilton became the designated timekeeper for many major airlines in the United States, thus creating the development of Hanwatch in the aviation field. Hanbiao has also become the first timekeeper for direct east-west flights between the United States and the United States, recording the 15 hours and 20 minutes historical period from New York to Los Angeles. Following this tradition, Hamilton will launch a new Converter series in 2020. Each model is equipped with a time-tested aviation tool, namely the rotating sliding slide rule bezel, and now Hamilton watch fans can also perform key flight calculations on their wrists. The distinguishing feature of the watch is the two-way rotating bezel. The essence is to bend the conventional straight slide rule into a ring. Its logarithmic gradient scale corresponds to the fixed scale around the dial, thus creating a "sliding ruler" that can be in flight. Perform mathematical calculations. Mainly used to perform multiplication and division operations, but can also perform functions such as exponential, root, or logarithm. It is actually used to calculate key flight factors, such as airspeed, distance, fuel consumption, rate of climb or descent, and flight time-in fact, It follows the same principle as the E6B "Whiz Wheel", and this basic calculation training is still required in modern pilot training.
